Gitlab-CE

Gitlab Community Edition installation

Getting Started

Installing Ansible

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible -y -u
$ sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install ansible -y
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /etc/ansible

Prerequisites

• Gitlab dependencies installing in second and third task in first play
  • cURL
  • openSSH server
  • CA-certificates

Usage

Hosts

By default Ansible hosts (inventory) file is stored as /etc/ansible/hosts, but you can define any other file in ansible.cfg file.

Running playbook

Make sure that your inventory (hosts file) is defined. Take note of variables - these also need to be defined.

- hosts: host

  roles:
    - { role: syzmekk.gitlab }

Templates

• gitlab.j2 - a Gitlab config file, based in /etc/gitlab as gitlab.rb. It is being set twice, because of bootstrap run.

Acknowledgments

• Playbook tested on Ubuntu xenial (16.04)
• ENVIRONMENT_URL sets an environment variable to the system, but only for current task (according to Gitlab documentation)
